Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has sold over 8 MILLION COPIES!

that's a lot of minecrack.
I stopped playing it because my pc can't handle the graphics (I know right?!)

Microsoft must be paying a lot of money to keep this from PS4. Jesus, 8 million.

 

Nope, the reason why Minecraft isn't on PS3 is because people in Mojang aren't too good with coding. X360 version is done on behalf Microsoft by 4J Studios & funded by MS. Mojang can't take current X360 version and port it to PS3 because they don't own the rights to 4j Studios work. If Mojang ever does PS3/4 version they will have to make it from scratch.



cant wait to try it on PS Vita

“Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles,” said Bergensten who is the lead designer of the Pocket Edition. ”When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PS3, but Wii U is very unlikely.”



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Wow, could this be the 360's seventh 10 million seller?

Well deserved. I wonder how many people would buy it again for Xbox One.



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Am I the only one who thought Minecraft kind of sucked?



It's absolutely insane how the 360 version took off like this. Congrats.



the game seems too much of a time sink imo, congrats to the devs anyway

But but but... M$ HATES indie devs!!!

Yeah Microsoft took a HUGE risk bringing Minecraft to their console. Is it even fair to call this an indie game anymore? May as well call COD an indie game. 

LOLZ!  Minecraft is apparently too "mainstream" now for all the hipster gamers out there.

Notch is just a corporate sellout tool confirmed.

Thanks for completely missing the point of my post! 

So the point of your post wasn't that Minecraft was already a successful title before it came to the 360, and that because it's now being published by M$ on consoles that somehow no longer makes it an "indie" game then???

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
